- PCPLUS-Z DOCUMENTATION
-
-
- The External protocol driver for PROCOMM+ (tm DATASTORM TECHNOLOGIES, INC.)
- is great but it is does not allow for preset variables. I was using POE and DSZ
- (tm OMEN TECHNOLOGY INC.) before and was disappointed in the inability to pre-
- set variables for up and downloading.
-
- This ARChived file contains two batch files that will drive DSZ so that you
- can easily use it within PCPLUS.
-
- INSTALLATION
-
- 1. DSZ.COM, ZMODEMUL.BAT and ZMDODEMDL.BAT must be placed within a pathed
- sub-directory on your hard drive. I keep them in my utilities directory so as
- to avoid additional clutter in my PCPLUS directory.
-
- 2. EDIT THE BATCH FILES! The lines preceded by a ":" are remark lines
- that may be deleted when you are through.
-
-
- 3. Load PCPLUS. Use the ALT-S combination and choose Protocols from the
- menus. Edit the external protocol names to ZMODEMUL for external upload proto-
- col #1 and ZMODEMDL for external download protocol #1. Save your changes.

- REMARKS
-
-
- This quick and dirty set of files took very little time and are freeware.
- It works with Procomm Plus Test Drive, which is a crippleware version of
- Procomm+. DSZ is shareware, and Procomm+ is commercial software. It is sad
- to see that Datastorm has gone commercial, but it is clear that they are moving
- away from the shareware concept that made Procomm 2.42 and its predecessors such
- great products. PAY FOR THE SHAREWARE YOU USE! I paid the modest fees for DSZ
- and Procomm 2.42 and have gotten great support. If we don't reach into our
- pockets, the shareware concept with wither and die.
